 Signs of Progress
I am big on checklists and markers of progress in addiction recovery. I came across this list: if you cannot see many signs in your own life now, just check it in a couple months and you will see the positive signs of being in addiction recovery.
We accept responsibility for attitudes, actions and behaviors
We know the difference between needs and wants
Start making choices to help others and ourselves
Start living in reality and give up our fantasies of addictive thinking
Become aware that failure is evidence of learning and progress
Our sense of humor and laughter returns
We can offer love and forgiveness to others, and more importantly, to ourselves
Our ability to listen to others and hear what they say and mean returns
We return to our sense of what is really important, our value system
Our ability to make good, rational decisions returns
We become positive about ourselves and become capable of sharing it.
We set realistic goals, and initiate positive action to achieve them
We become willing to admit and correct our mistakes promptly
Have a conscious contact with our own Higher Power on a daily basis
There you have it, some sobriety tips and signs of progress in addiction recovery.
